Hello, my name is Derick Morales , I am 19 years old and I’m  Honduran-American .  I am a fraternal twin and our name rhymes with each other “ Derick and Erick”.  In addition ,  the definition of my name is  ” gifted ruler” and derived from “Theodoric” . Which comes from Germany.  Some of my hobbies are to play basketball,  coding,  go to the gym , and playing video games. My favorite movie of all time is “The Dark Knight”.  I just have to say  the Joker did an Amazing job . Any how,   I work in a after school program called CFL(Center For Family Life) and I look after middle schoole’rs and help them with homework. The reason why I work in CFL is because I also have a passion for helping people and to mentor kids in a positive, academic  aspect. It is an  accomplishment because it may shape a child’s life, the same way it did with me .          

        However,  I am a freshmen in my 2nd semester  and I am  majoring  in Software engineering . The reason why I picked software engineering was because  I was always passionate  about technology ever since I was a little kid. When I was first introduced to computers in elementary school , I didn’t know how to use computer until my teacher taught me the basics and then taught me how to code . For example,  how to use the keyboard , how to navigate in the web, and how to code . That’s when my passion towards technology grew .  I  plan to work in Google, Apple, or Microsoft  in the next 5 to 10 years making new software for these company. Also I hope I can move to Japan for sometime with in the 5-10 years. Reason why because their technology is much more advance than the U.S. However,      “When something really matters, you should never give up or give in”- Gordon Brown this statement represents me because life is unfair and will always throw obstacle at you no matter what. On the other hand,  I see  myself  as a strong person and push through to overcome any obstacle. This quote  also connects with my goal because college isn’t easy , and I know that I’m going to have tons of obstacles in order to reach my goal.

        In the avatar that I posted shows the 1st person going toward the diamonds , and the 2nd person is going to the opposite direction. In addition , the 1st person is working hard  in order to reach his goal (Diamonds).  While,  the 2nd person was very close to his goal ,but has given up and walks away showing defeat .  Some people might think that this avatar might be from  some sort of game, but it isn’t. This picture is showing the struggles  of how to reach your goals.   The way I interpreted  this picture is that you should never give up considering you never know how close you are to your goal.   This picture represents me due to the fact that I sometimes have my up’s or  down’s when it comes to reaching my goal.  Most of the time  I‘m determined  to overcome any obstacle that comes in my way,  no matter how big or small the obstacle may be. However, there are moments  that I do feel like giving up and just walking away like the 2nd guy in the picture. When I do fall in that state ,I always go back to the reason I began and use my willpower to continue where I left off.  

This profile shows to the rest of my classmates or other audience  a little background of my self .  Also, it shows our similarities or the things we have in common. This profile will benefit anyone that has an account due to the fact that we can help among each other. Like if me or someone else is having trouble with a random assignment, we can ask a class mate for any help .  This would benefit me because  after the semester is over , we can still be in touch and communicate with each other.
